2012 Jeep Liberty complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP LIBERTY. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS OPERATED INDEPENDENTLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED DAILY. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM WOULD ALARM INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM WAS DISABLED, BUT THE TECHNICIAN COULD NOT DIAGNOSE WHAT WAS CAUSING THE ELECTRICAL FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

THE "GATE" LIGHT IN MY JEEP LIBERTY CAME ON WHILE DRIVING AND WOULD NOT GO OFF, EVEN THOUGH EVERYTHING WAS SECURELY SHUT. AS A RESULT, I WAS UNABLE TO LOCK MY VEHICLE BECAUSE THE ALARM WOULD SOUND. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS ALSO STAYED ON DURING THIS TIME, WHICH WAS A HAZARD WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT AS IT DIRECTLY AFFECTED MY ABILITY TO SEE OUTSIDE MY CAR. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE AND DO SEE THAT IT APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WHICH MAY BE CAUSED BY FAULTY RUBBER TRIM AROUND THE REAR HATCH WINDOW. THE RUBBER ALLOWS WATER TO GET IN TO THE LATCH AND EVENTUALLY RUINS IT. I RECENTLY HAD THE GATE LATCH ASSEMBLY REPLACED, WHICH DID RESOLVE THE ISSUE,.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED CONTINUOUSLY. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V282000 (AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED UNDER THE RECALL BUT THE REMEDY FAILED TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALER THAT THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BUT THAT SPECIFIC COMPONENT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,133.

AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ON DASH IS PERMANENTLY ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN AND TESTED AT MY LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY ADVISED THAT THE OCR MODULE WAS FAULTY AND WOULD NEED REPLACING AT A COST OF OVER $440. ALTHOUGH THERE IS A CURRENT RECALL ON SOME 2012 JEEP LIBERTY REGARDING ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINTS AND SOME MODELS REQUIRING REPLACEMENT OF THE OCR MODULE MY VEHICLE WAS NOT ON THE LIST FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE MODULE.

THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE LIBERTY SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND BEFORE APRIL 26,2015 THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS NOT PRESENT THE LIBERTY WAS BACKED INTO AT A HIGH SPEED AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE COMPANY THAT REPAIRED MY CAR AFTER THE WRECK TOLD ME THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON, THE AIRBAGS TRIED TO DEPLOY BUT MALFUNCTIONED. THEY FIXED THE LIGHT I GUESS BY RESETTING IT. NOW 5 MONTHS LATER THE LIGHT IS BACK ON FOR THE AIRBAGS AND IT WILL NOT GO OFF.

STARTED UP THE CAR AROUND 8/24/2015 AND THE RED AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DASH. IT REMAINS ON AT ALL TIMES WHILE THE VEHICLE IS ON.

AT AROUND 40K MILES THE AIRBAG LIGHT IN THE DASH CAME ON AND WOULD NOT TURN OFF. WHEN WE TOOK THE CAR TO GET IT INSPECTED IT FAILED INSPECTION DUE TO THE AIRBAG LIGHT AND THE MECHANIC TOLD US WE WOULD HAVE TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE JEEP DEALER TO HAVE THEM DIAGNOSE AND FIX THE ISSUE. WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THE ISSUE WAS THE ORC MODULE AND IT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED AND IT WOULD COST $650. THIS PART WAS RECALLED ON THE 2011 JEEP LIBERTY AND I HAVE READ A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS PART ON THE 2012 LIBERTY. WE HAVE NO CHOICE IN REPLACING THIS PART OR OUR CAR WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION AND OUR ONLY OPTION IS TO TAKE IT TO A JEEP DEALER TO REPLACE.

THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT WAS ON AND REMAINED ON EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE WAS ON. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINT BUT THAT THE ISSUE CAUSING THE WARNING LIGHT TO BE ON WAS DUE TO A FAULT ORC CIRCUIT. THE SERVICE ADVISOR INFORMED ME THAT THIS WAS NOT COVERED AND THAT I HAD TO PAY $500 TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. I WENT ONLINE AND NOTICED THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. SO THE OPTIONS FOR THE CONSUMER IS TO PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED OR RISK YOUR AIRBAG NOT DEPLOYING. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN IF SOMEONE DOES NOT HAVE THE MEANS TO PAY $500 TO REPLACE THE FAULTY CIRCUIT. THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A DEFECT AND A RECALL POSTED FOR THIS ORC CIRCUIT.

I BOUGHT MY JEEP LIBERTY JET IN FEB 2012 BRAND NEW OUT OF THE SHOW ROOM. I AM A MILITARY VET AND WANTED A RELIABLE CAR TO DRIVE IN FOR MY PCS MOVES. I STARTED HAVING VEHICLE SHAKES IN 2013 FOR MY 2012 JEEP LIBERTY JET. IN DECEMBER 2013 I TOOK IT TO MILTON REUBEN CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP FOR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I WAS ALSO INFORMED THERE WAS A SAFETY RECALL ON IT THAT I WAS UNAWARE OF. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE SHOP FOR OVER A MONTH FOR CYLINDER 3,4,7 MISFIRES. THE HEADS WERE REPLACED. IN AUGUST 2014, NOT EVEN A YEAR AFTER MY VEHICLE WAS IN THE SHOP I HAD TO RETURN FOR SHAKES. MY CHILD WAS IN THE CAR AT THE TIME IT WAS SHAKING VIOLENTLY. I CALLED CHRYSLER, NOT THE DEALERSHIP, TO COMPLAIN OF THIS SAFETY ISSUE AND FOR LONG TERM HELP SOLVING THE ISSUE. THEY BASICALLY SAID I WAS ON MY OWN AND THE DEALERSHIP DIDN'T WANT THE VEHICLE AS A TRADE IN BECAUSE OF ITS LENGTHY WRAP SHEET. THEY REPLACED CYLINDER 3 AND 7 AGAIN. I THOUGHT THE WORST WAS OVER UNTIL AUGUST 29, 2015 THE SHAKES CAME BACK. I TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY GAVE ME A BILL FOR $1100 FOR CYLINDER 5 MISFIRE. THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 80,000 MILES ON A 100,000 MILE WARRANTY. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP EVERY YEAR SINCE WE HAVE HAD IT FOR MAJOR WORK. THE DEALERSHIP DOESN'T WANT IT AND CHRYSLER IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FACT THEY BUILT A FAULTY VEHICLE. EVERY 20,000 MILES I AM HAVING ISSUES.

I HAD TRAVELED ABOUT 500 MILES AND ALL OF THE LIGHTS CONCERNING THE 4 WD LIT UP ON THE DASH AND THE RPM'S JUMPED UP OVER 3000 RPM, I WAS TOWING A TRAILER AND USING THE TOWING MODE AS IT SAYS TO IN THE MANUAL, THERE WERE NO CHRYSLER DEALERS OPEN FOR DOING SERVICE, I PULLED OVER AND SHUT OFF THE TRAILER TOWING AND WENT A WAYS FURTHER AND THE LIGHTS WERE STILL ON SO I PULLED THE FUSE AND CONTINUED ALONG THE LIGHTS SLOWLY ONE BY ONE SHUT OFF. I STOPPED IN BLOOMINGTON, ILLINOIS AT THE CHRYSLER DEALER THE NEXT DAY AND THEY COULD NOT GIVE A GOD ANSWER FOR WHAT HAD HAPPENED. I CONTINUED ON TO FLORIDA TO VISIT WITH MY SONS AND THE SITUATION GOT WORSE IT STARTED ACTING LIKE THE ENGINE WAS MISS FIRING ON A CYLINDER OR TWO, CHRYSLER DEALER IN FL WAS TOO BUSY TO CHECK IT OUT AND WANTED ME TO PAY UP FRONT EVEN THOUGH THE POWER TRAIN IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY TIL 100,000 MILES. I LEFT FL RETURNING TO IL AND HAD IT CHECKED BY A FRIEND WHO HAD A GARAGE AND HIS TESTING SHOWED A BAD MODULATOR IN THE TRANSMISSION, I TOOK IT BACK TO THE CHRYSLER DEALER AND THEY PUT IT ON THEIR COMPUTER AND DIS SOME ADJUSTING AND TOLD ME TO TAKE IT EASY THE TRANSMISSION IS VERY WEAK AND NEEDS REPAIR BUT CHRYSLER WILL NOT DO ANYTHING UNLESS THE TRANSMISSION QUITS COMPLETELY. I LEFT IL AND RETURNED TO SOUTH DAKOTA AND THE TRANSMISSION IS NO BETTER BUT ACTUALLY GETTING WORSE, I WENT TO HOT SPRINGS SD YESTERDAY WHICH IS ABOUT A 60 MILE ONE WAY TRIP, VISITED WITH FRIENDS FOR 4 HOURS AND RETURNED HOME AND BEFORE I GOT BAC

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP LIBERTY. WHILE DRIVING 20-30 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. A FEW SECONDS AFTER THE FAILURE, THE ENGINE MADE AN ABNORMAL NOISE AND RESTARTED INDEPENDENTLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER TO BE SERVICED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V282000 (AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE RECALL REMEDY WAS PERFORMED; HOWEVER, THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT MODULE ALSO FAILED AND WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL REMEDY. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,000.

THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON MY CAR ONE MORNING WHEN IT FIRST STARTED. A FEW DAYS LATER I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE MODULE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT HAD FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE REPAIR COST $390. AFTER DOING A BIT OF RESEARCH ONLINE IT APPEARED THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE REPORTED THE SAME MALFUNCTION WITH THE EXACT SAME MODEL YEAR AROUND THE SAME MILLAGE. .. UPDATED 09/30/15*BF

RECENTLY I TOOK MY 2012 JEEP LIBERTY IN FOR A RECALL REPAIR ON THE ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINTS. THE AIRBAG DASH LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR ABOUT A MONTH AND A HALF, AND IT HASN'T REALLY BOTHERED ME UNTIL TODAY. I WAS CALLED BY RANCHO JEEP/DODGE DURING MY RECALL REPAIR TODAY, AND THE MECHANIC TOOK A VERY AGGRESSIVE SALES TYPE PERSONA REGARDING ME FIXING THE AIRBAG LIGHT, WHICH HE QUOTED ME AT OVER $400 FOR EVERYTHING. I SAID NO, AND HE PERSISTED TO TRY TO SELL ME ON FIXING THIS LIGHT. I ALSO WORK IN SALES, SO I WAS VERY WELL AWARE THAT HE WAS FOLLOWING SOME COMPANY INSTRUCTION TO PUSH HARD TO GET ME TO FIX THIS ISSUE. THEN I NOTICED THERE IS AN OPEN INVESTIGATION REGARDING EXACTLY THIS PROBLEM. I ALSO READ THE BELOW ARTICLES AND FOUND THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE CURRENTLY HAVING ISSUES WITH AIRBAG FAILURES ON THEIR JEEP LIBERTY VEHICLES. PLEASE GET CHRYSLER TO FIX THIS, IT SEEMS THEY MAY EVEN BE FOLLOWING POOR BUSINESS PRACTICES BY TRYING TO GET CUSTOMERS TO FIX THIS ISSUE BY SPENDING THEIR OWN MONEY BEFORE A RECALL IS ISSUED BY NHTSA.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE AIR BAG LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

I STARTED OFF BY DRIVING DOWN HILL ON HIGHWAY 40. ALL VEHICLE LIGHTS LIT UP ON DASHBOARD, ENGING STALLED, NO BRAKES OR STEERING. I SHIFTED THE VEHICLE TO NEUTRAL AND WAS ABLE TO COME TO A STOP ON THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD WHEN THE VEHICLE STARTED UP THE NEXT HILL. NO TURNS, THE ROAD WAS STRAIGHT. TURNED THE KEY OFF AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, AND THE JEEP RAN FINE. LATER THAT DAY IN A PARKING LOT, THE SAME THING HAPPENED. STARTED THE VEHICLE, STARTED TO PULL OUT OF THE PARKING LOT, ALL OF THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS CAME ON, THE ENGINE STALLED AND HAD NO BRAKES OR STEERING. PLACED THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL UNTIL THE JEEP CAME TO A STOP, TURNED THE KEY OFF, THEN RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND THE JEEP RAN OK UNTIL WE GOT HOME.

I WAS DRIVING 35 MILES PER HOUR, THE ESC WARNING LIGHT CAME ON, CAR IS JERKING WHEN YOU ARE COMING TO A STOP. THE ESC IS FLASHING. I BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW IN 2012 ,THIS IS THE THIRD TIME IN THREE WEEKS THIS HAS HAPPENED. FIRST TWO TIME LIGHT WHEN OFF WHEN VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF NOT THIS TIME. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO ON THIS TIME.

TURNED ON IGNITION. THE AIR BAG LIGHT FLASHED ON AND WARNING INDICATOR CAUGHT MY ATTENTION BECAUSE THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT WENT ON AND STAYED ON.

I HAVE A 2012 JEEP LIBERTY LIMITED 4X4 AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT WILL NOT TURN OFF A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO IT WILL COME ON STAY ON THEN TURN OFF BUT ALL OF THE SUDDEN IT JUST STAYED ON ALL THE TIME. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALER AND CHRYSLER TO TELL THEM ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT SINCE I DIDN'T BUY THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THEY WANT TO CHARGE FOR ME TO TAKE IT IN AND FOR THEM TO GET A CODE. I FEEL LIKE IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE AND THEY SHOULD TAKE CARE IF THE PROBLEM .THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT I DON'T SEE WHY THEY CAN'T TAKE CARE OF THAT PROBLEM.
